Old fashion forum RP

Post by Benefactor »

I was wondering if anyone here would be up for an old fashioned slow paced forum RP? If so what ideas would you have for something that would interest you?

I've been actually thinking about this! As you might already know, my ideas are endless :D

We can use it to explore an era unseen in games, such as the mythical past of the Merethic Era or the sci-fi wonders of the Fifth and beyond. But it needs not to be a full expansion, for a specific concentration on one aspect of the Aurbis allows for a much richer and detailed exploration, say, an RP taking place only in the Imperial City or Solstheim, etc. Maybe members of the same faction like the Red Domers, Psijic Order, Ash'abah, etc.

There is this one idea I've had for a while now which would be perfect for a forum based RP. Basically, it is American Gods in Tamriel. Ebonarm is going around and collecting lost and forgotten gods, such as Arius, Druagaa, Ius, etc and planning to break the Convention so he can start the antelucan God Wars, giving them a chance to defeat the New Gods (Lead by Tiber and Vivec, including the Green Lady, Orgnum, Dagon, Bal, Malak, etc.) and reclaim their ancient seats.

In any case, I am absolutely down for a forum RP!

IMO, the topic should be something that folks are already familiar with and feel comfortable playing without needing to do too much research or alignment with others. Late 3rd era Tamriel, for example, rather than something set during the time of Reman, where there is a lot of room for interpretation and disagreement. At least to start. Maybe a story about a group of refugees trying to make it out of Morrowind following the Red Year, or agents of dynastic powers reacting to the Middle Dawn.

Alternatively, something more in the vein of "What Would Pelinal Do" or "Reman I", where it's a roleplay exercise but isn't directly character advancing a story may be a lower steaks way to kick things off.

I might be tempted into such an arrangement.

Late third-era, before the Nerevarine takes that boat. One of the Imperial City's less affluent neighborhoods. And this is pre-OB Nibennium, the tropical Venice of teeming bridge-parishes, Ancestor-smog, and 1.5 cults per capita. Anyway: Amid the rising tide of imminent social and dimensional collapse in the post-Simulacrum malaise, more and more of the urban poor are turning to a particular cult sacred to the goddess Vaermina. Dubbed The Cenacle, the sect offers its devotees an escape to another world, far removed from the drudgery and pains of their own. This dream-world however, has its own pains to offer.

+1 for HQ's scenario, this sounds fun.
